AUDITIONS for Curtains, the musical
Advertisement
THE STORY:
A talentless leading lady is mysteriously murdered on the opening night of a Broadway-bound musical. The entire cast and crew become sequestered inside Boston’s Colonial Theatre and are instantly made suspects. A fast-talking local police detective with a secret passion for musical theatre must solve the murder, save the failing show, and perhaps even find love—all without getting killed himself.
From the creators of CABARET and CHICAGO comes CURTAINS, combining the best elements of classic Broadway with a clever whodunit. This homage to the Golden Age of theatre will keep audiences laughing and guessing until the very end.
